Wipeout - Channel 9’s Enviromental Disaster
Is it just me or is the Network 9 show “Wipeout” based on the Japanese show of a similar nature where “stars” have to fit through styrofoam cut-outs an environental disaster? Besides the derogatory fashion in which the host spoke to the supposed “coach pototoes” this last week, has anyone else wondered what happens to all that styrofoam?

Well, a couple of days ago my wife and I renewed our Victorian drivers licences. This gave thought and pause for reflection on a number of fronts. Do I mention that my wife was given a 25% discount for three years of exemplery driving with no tickets and fines! I didn’t mention the fact that I most of the driving! But, regardless I am proud of her and the discount!

Further to my post about my affect on the Planet, I happened upon a fellow called Jon Gabriel.Now before I go any further, let me share that yes I am have tried many, many diets in my life time and the only success I could boast would have been the time with Weight Watchers… but costs and a move interstate put that to rest amidst the stress of moving etc. So yes, I am overweight and yes, I have tried many diets and in fact would consider myself skeptical of anything that promotes weight loss - even the tv reality show - the one I won’t mention but you know what I mean.

No Comments »Slow Start
As you may have guessed if you have come to this blog in teh past few months, I have been very lax in writing anything new and have been more involved in finding a good theme to use than writing.
I hope that will change now and I can start to write some more!
